During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N. Forces that exceed this amount

could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass. The person with a mass of 65 kg is initially traveling at 18 m/s (40 mi/h).

Answer:

a) t = 0.0585 s  

b) s = 0.5265 m

Explanation:

Given:

- maximum possible force F = 4000 N

- mass of person = 65 kg

- mass of knees and other m = 0.2*65 = 13 kg

- initial velocity u = 18 m/s

- Final velocity v = 0

Find:

a) Minimum stopping time

b) Minimum stopping distance.

Solution:

Minimum stopping time can be evaluated by Newton's second law of motion. Where change in momentum per unit time is Average force experienced by the body:

                                   F = m*(v - u) / dt

                                   dt = 13*(0 - (-18)) / 4000

Hence ,                       dt = 0.0585                

       

Minimum stopping distance can be evaluated by using equation of motions and required deceleration is as follows:

                                  a = - 4000  / 13

                                  a = -307.692 m/s^2

And,

                                 s = (v^2 - u^2) / 2*a

                                 s = (0 - 18^2) / 2*(-307.692)

                                s = 0.5265 m  

Answer: The minimum stopping time and distance are t = 0.0585 s and s = 0.5265 m, respectively.

Experiment: Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.
slega [8]

Answer:

How does the drink content affect an individual's blood pressure?

Explanation:

In every experiment using the scientific method, an observation lays the foundation of that experiment. A problem must be observed, which then leads to asking a SCIENTIFIC QUESTION in order to investigate. A scientific question must include the variable being changed called INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and the variable being measured called DEPENDENT VARIABLE.

In this experimental procedure or set up,

- Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.

- Group 2 drink 500 mL of tea a day,

- Group 3 is a control group i.e no drink

At the end of 60 days all participants

blood pressure is tested.

This set up indicates that the variable being changed (independent) is the DRINK CONTENT while the variable being measured (dependent) is the BLOOD PRESSURE. Hence, these variables serve as the template to ask a scientific question which goes thus:

HOW DOES THE DRINK CONTENT AFFECT AN INDIVIDUAL'S BLOOD PRESSURE?

This scientific question relates how the independent variable (drink) causes the dependent variable to respond (blood pressure).

If Vector A is (3, 0) and Vector B is (-3, 3), what is the resultant?
Archy [21]

Answer:resultant vector R = (0, 3)

Explanation: vector A = (3, 0)

vector B =(-3, 3)

Vectors are added such that those in same directions are added together. The resultant vector R is the given by R = (3-3, 0+3)

= (0, 3)

Is it proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinde
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

No, it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinder.

Explanation:

A cylinder is said to be infinitely long when is of a sufficient length. Also, when the diameter of the cylinder is relatively small compared to the length, it is called infinitely long cylinder.

Cylindrical rods can also be treated as infinitely long when dealing with heat transfers at locations far from the top or bottom surfaces. However, it not proper to treat the cylinder as being infinitely long when:

* When the diameter and length are comparable (i.e have the same measurement)

When finding the temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder, it is NOT PROPER TO USE AN INFINITELY LONG CYLINDER because heat transfer at those locations can be two-dimensional.

Therefore, the answer to the question is NO, since it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder when finding temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder.
